Bath resealing in Charles, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Air the room after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Common problems we fix in Charles
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps by the taps
- Stained silicone
- Leaks at the edges

Charles questions
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover Charles?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Charles for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry

What bath resealing costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you’re in Charles and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
